Banner advert in the app

[MagicFox]

Hi MNHQ,

There's a banner ad appearing in the ap (at the top) that makes the app visually really annoying to navigate. Will it be there permanently? It would be less bad at the bottom! Thanks!

Hi @MagicFox

Sorry to hear this. Please can you tell us a bit more about the ad you're seeing - if you can provide a screenshot, that would be very helpful.

Can you also let us know if you're using the android or iOS app (and if it's the iOS, whether you have the latest version installed - a new version was released yesterday).

Thanks in advance.

I've got it too.

Apologies, meant to add this one.

sure! It's iOS - I'll double check re any updates

Yes - it's very annoying and makes it much less readable.

I have noticed this- it also slows everything down - some threads won't open. On my phone the app has crashed and randomly closed down three times. Really annoying!

I'm getting it too and it's really distracting - iPhone.

Same here. Wasn't there an hour ago and now it is 🙄 horribly distracting

iPhone here too btw

And I haven't installed the latest update yet so nothing to do with that

I've got it and haven't updated. It's quite distracting

I have it on my iPhone. Really irritating as it keeps moving while I'm trying to read.
I pressed the little x to get rid of it but it was promptly replaced by a different ad.

Same here too. Appeared today. I haven't done any updates. Also on the app on an iPhone.

Same here! iOS on iPad and iPhone. It's awful.

Me too on iPhone. Very annoying as it's animated

I've got the MN 'Love to share your opinion' thing, which also appears as the ad part way through scrolling for me at the moment.

My opinion is I don't want anything taking up screen space, having the ad once is more than enough thanks.

Mine looks the same as Errol's.

I can't cope with these animated ads. It's too distracting. It doesn't matter what it's advertising, it's the amount of screen space being taken up and because they are animated. It's hurting my head.

Reluctantly logging out for now on my phone.

Me too, ios.





This. It's moving, so really annoying.

I have it too iOS moving banner advertising gambling sites at the moment

I have a moving banner advertising Monopoly Go too. It's very distracting.

Getting it here too.
iPhone running latest version of mumsnet

Some ads have an 'x' but that just takes you to a google ad explanation. You can't actually remove the ad

Very annoying, have always used app. Never had this before.

The entire point of the app was that it was so basic, no features, nothing, so why has this appeared.
